AISATS extends ISAGO registration to Bengaluru & Thiruvananthapuram

JUNE 2, 2015: Air India SATS Airport Services Pvt. Ltd. (AISATS) has been honoured with the IATA Safety Audit for Ground Operations (ISAGO) registration to recognize their commitment towards adhering to safety standards at Kempegowda International Airport (BLR) and Trivandrum International Airport (TRV). AISATS becomes the first ground service provider in Trivandrum to be ISAGO registered. This registration is an extension to the ISAGO registration obtained earlier this year at the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, Hyderabad (HYD) and their Headquarters in Mumbai.

ISAGO registration recognises ground service providers who meets IATA’s industry-proven quality audit principles and is structured to ensure a standardized audit with consistent results across ground handlers. The ISAGO process ensures safer ground operations, fewer accidents and injuries, uniform audit processes, and effectively improves quality standards and enhances the understanding of high risk areas within ground operations. The key disciplines considered by IATA while certifying AISATS are, Organization and Management (ORM), Load Control (LOD), Passenger and Baggage Handling (PAB), Aircraft Handling and Loading (HDL), Aircraft Ground Movement (AGM), and Cargo and Mail Handling (CGM).

Speaking on this occasion Willy Ko, CEO, AISATS said, “At AISATS, safety and security is one of our core values and is paramount in our daily operations. While we are always working hard to maintain our world-class service standards, we also firmly believe in ensuring that the yardstick for safety is maintained at its apex and the ISAGO registration reiterates our commitment in that direction. In early 2015, we achieved this certification for adhering to safety standards at Hyderabad and Mumbai and have now accomplished it for our business units at both Bengaluru and Thiruvananthapuram.”
